POLICE Scotland is investigating a hate-filled stream of Internet abuse from a would-be Islamic jihadist in Glasgow.

The Twitter account set up in the name of Abdul Hafes has been reported to police [TWITTER]

Officers from the national counter-terrorism unit were alerted after death threats were posted on Twitter, apparently from a Scot attempting to join bloodthirsty fighters in Iraq.

One sickening message read: "I'll kill your mother and eat her in front of you... then I'll kill your kids and make you eat them I'll watch with great pleasure."

Chillingly, several people in the Middle East responded with further details on how to sign up for the Al Qaeda-linked Isis terror group.

It comes after an Isis recruitment video emerged featuring three British fighters, including gap-year student Nasser Muthana, 20, from Cardiff.

His father yesterday said he believed his son had been "brainwashed" and radicalised in the UK, while Sir Peter Fahy, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, said around 500 Britons had travelled to Syria and Iraq.

The disturbing Twitter account - set up in the name of Abdul Hafes, from Glasgow - was discovered by the Scottish Sunday Express yesterday and immediately reported to the police.

Officers from the counter-terrorism unit at the new serious and organised crime headquarters at Gartcosh, Lanarkshire, were last night examining the messages.

On June 16, Hafes wrote that he would "love to join Isis in Iraq" and posted his personal email address so recruiters could get in touch with him.

Then, at around 9am yesterday morning, the terrifying diatribe began with the message: "Brothers il join if I get paid for joining il drop my whole life and go and fight."

Another read: "I want to join too... I'm from Bangladesh raised in Glasgow and fed up with UK how can I join?"

He also wrote: "How can I too from Glasgow, Scotland join the Isis in Iraq I think I'll kill everything that moves, non suni of course."

The same individual then sent dozens of messages to Twitter accounts in the Middle East and elsewhere, many of them appearing to have links to Islamic extremism.

One person advised him to "scour the Internet and you can find it", prompting the response: "Searching all week brother can't find only can find others like yourself."

Another message read: "Brother look I would like to join I'm suni from Scotland please get back to me."

The abuse then began to take an even darker turn, with sickening death and rape threats and anti-Semitic and racist remarks about "smelly Jew b******", "dirty scum Kurdish" and "Shia low life scum".

He boasted about Isis "taking over the oil refinery in Baiji", which has been at the centre of fierce fighting in recent days, and wrote: "Born in UK this is where we fund terror lol."

The twisted thug then began to focus on one Kurdish man, sending him dozens of tweets including: "U have sister and mother I'm tracking u dumb ass very soon il find out your address and do the job on you."

Eventually, after several hours, one of the last messages read: "You are all f***ing dead heads going to get cut off slowly we will take over all of Iraq."

It is possible that somebody had hacked the Twitter account and was posting the messages as a twisted practical joke, although police sources confirmed they would still take this extremely seriously.

A separate YouTube account set up by "Abdul Hafes" in Glasgow has links to dozens of videos relating to Islamic extremism in Syria and Irag, some of them going back several months.

Elsewhere on the Internet, Hafes describes himself as a "married 35 year-old Scottish male" who attended school in Glasgow.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a complaint has been received and inquiries are at an early stage."
